"By the stream, the rare tea crowns the world; Wuyi immortals have cultivated it since ancient times." The poem by Fan Zhongyan expresses the thousand-year-old reputation of Wuyi Rock Tea. This precious tea nurtured by the clear waters and red cliffs, with its unique temperament of "rock bone and flower fragrance," holds an irreplaceable position in the tea world. Moreover, with the inclusion of "Traditional Tea Processing Techniques and Associated Social Practices in China" in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage list, it has become an important symbol carrying Oriental tea culture.
The charm of Wuyi Rock Tea begins with the unique natural endowments. Surrounded by thirty-six peaks and seventy-two deep caves, Wuyi Mountain's distinctive Danxia landform creates loose and breathable gravelly soil. Coupled with the mist-shrouded climate and abundant rainfall, it provides an excellent environment for tea tree growth. The characteristic of "only rock-grown tea is authentic" allows every leaf to absorb the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers. Nearly twenty complex processes further endow it with a soul—from "inverting green leaves" to stimulate fragrance, to "withering and tossing" to form the "green leaves with red edges," and then to "slow roasting over gentle fire" to enhance the flavor. The inherited intangible cultural heritage techniques ultimately condense into the quality criterion of "fragrant, clear, sweet, and lively." This balanced taste between the freshness of green tea and the mellowness of black tea is the unique flavor code of Wuyi Rock Tea.
Among the thousands of varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea, there are always some rare "recluse-like" existences, and "Yujing Liuxiang" is one of them. In 2025, Tongxinshe Teahouse officially launches this treasure rarely encountered even by locals, unlocking a new dimension of rock tea flavor for tea lovers.
The rarity of this tea first stems from its noble origin. "Yujing Liuxiang" grows in the core tea area of Neigui Cave in Wuyi Mountain, where clouds and mist linger all year round. The unique microenvironment endows the tea leaves with an unparalleled character. Its tight and uniform条索, glowing with a moist luster between green and brown, resembles carved jade. The moment hot water is poured, a high and lasting fragrance of flowers and fruits diffuses, rich in layers yet not ostentatious, showing a profound temperament. The tea soup is even more amazing when entering the mouth—mellow and smooth like a mountain spring. The tip of the tongue can clearly capture the complex taste of rock rhyme and minerals, with a long and lasting sweet aftertaste. The delicate experience of fragrance in the water is unforgettable.
The arrival of each "Yujing Liuxiang" is inseparable from Tongxinshe's rigorous selection. Our tea-seeking team goes deep into various hidden tea areas in Wuyi Mountain, tastes each plant one by one, and compares repeatedly, only to select the core raw materials that meet the quality standards. From tea area investigation to process supervision, from raw tea selection to finished product flavor determination, every link embodies reverence for the original taste of tea.
Now, this gift from the deep rocks of Wuyi is within reach without traveling far. The tasting package of Tongxinshe's "Yujing Liuxiang" has been officially launched on the official website. We sincerely invite you to feel the clouds, mist, and breeze of Wuyi Mountain through a cup of tea soup.
